ai-visibility-mcp
Audits AI-bot visibility: robots.txt per-bot for 22 AI user-agents (GPTBot/ClaudeBot/PerplexityBot/etc), Cloudflare flags, JSON-LD, sitemap, llms.txt, SPA shell, plus cross-model brand mentions via Perplexity + OpenRouter. 0-100 score. SSRF-guarded, spend-capped.
README
ai-visibility-mcp
MCP server that audits and fixes how AI sees your website. Robots, schema, LLM mentions, Cloudflare AI defaults — audit the problem, generate the fix, re-audit in one loop.
Most websites are accidentally invisible to AI search. Cloudflare's bot-management defaults block GPTBot / ClaudeBot / PerplexityBot. SPAs render an empty <div id="root"> to crawlers that don't run JS. Marketing teams have no idea their brand isn't surfacing in ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity answers — until traffic dries up.
ai-visibility-mcp closes the audit-and-fix loop inside a single agent session:
- Audit — find what's blocking AI visibility
- Fix — generate the artifact that corrects it
- Paste — site owner applies the output
- Re-audit — verify the fix was picked up
Tools
Audit tools
| Tool | Purpose | Needs API keys? |
|---|---|---|
check_ai_bot_access(domain) |
Per-bot robots.txt + Cloudflare AI-default flag for 22 AI user-agents | No |
audit_ai_visibility(domain) |
0-100 composite score with explainable deductions (robots, meta, JSON-LD, sitemap, llms.txt, SPA shell) | No |
check_llm_mention(brand, query, aliases?, models?) |
Cross-model brand surfacing (Perplexity sonar + OpenAI gpt-4o-mini + Gemini 2.0 Flash by default) | Yes |
compare_competitors(your_domain, competitor_domains[]) |
Parallel ranked audit, max 10 in flight | No |
Generator tools (v0.3)
| Tool | Purpose | LLM call? |
|---|---|---|
generate_robots_patch(domain, allow_bots?, deny_bots?) |
Corrected robots.txt that opens access to AI bots; preserves existing rules; detects Cloudflare | No |
generate_json_ld(url, page_type?) |
Schema.org JSON-LD block for any page; auto-detects type (Product/Article/Organization/FAQPage/SoftwareApplication/WebSite); validates required fields | Yes (gpt-4o-mini) |
generate_llms_txt(domain, crawl_depth?, max_pages?) |
spec-compliant llms.txt; crawls homepage + sitemap; graceful fallback to link extraction | Yes (gpt-4o-mini) |
Why this exists
- Cloudflare flipped defaults in 2024-2025 to block AI scrapers. Most site owners never updated their config, so AI bots get challenged and bounce.
- MCP marketplaces shipped in 2026 (MCP Hive, Smithery, mcp.so, Glama). Every AI agent needs tools that can audit the real web. This is one.
- Brand visibility in LLM answers is the new SEO. Nobody has a clean stack for measuring it from a single MCP call.
Install
Requires Python 3.10+ and uv.
git clone https://github.com/bestaiinsider/ai-visibility-mcp

Run
# stdio transport — Claude Desktop / Claude Code
uv run ai-visibility-mcp
# HTTP transport — remote agents
uv run ai-visibility-mcp --http --port 8000
Claude Desktop / Claude Code config
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (Desktop) or ~/.claude.json (CLI):

# Step 2 — generate fixes
> generate_robots_patch(domain="example.com")

Security posture
This server makes outbound HTTP requests to caller-supplied domains and to LLM providers. v0.2 hardening:
- SSRF guard. All outbound HTTP refuses loopback, link-local (AWS / GCP / Azure metadata IPs), RFC1918, CGNAT, and IPv6 ULA addresses. Redirects are re-validated.
- Daily spend cap. LLM calls are gated by
MAX_DAILY_USD(default $5.00), persisted to~/.cache/ai-visibility-mcp/spend.json. Loop-amplification can't drain your Perplexity / OpenRouter credits. - Per-call cost ceiling.
MAX_COST_PER_CALL(default $0.10) plusLLM_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS(default 1024) hard-bounds any single tool invocation. - No persistence of user content. Nothing is logged to disk except the daily spend totals.
